The Wrecker travels the vast spaces of the American West as if he had wings, striking wherever he pleases, causing untold damage and loss of human life.

Who is he and what does he want? Is he a striker? An anarchist?

"Loved it!"

What did you like most about The Wrecker?

Another cracking story from Clive Cussler. Scott Brick delivers a brilliant performance once again. He's a perfect fit for Cussler's books.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Well, you can't fail to like Isaac Bell.

Which character – as performed by Scott Brick – was your favourite?

They're all very well portrayed by Brick. He makes listening to the narration a joy.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Had my commitments allowed, I'd have sat and listened to The Wrecker in one go :)

Any additional comments?

Cussler is a genius when it comes to early 20th Century action and adventure. As previously mentioned, Scott Brick fits perfectly.

Story

"So Convincing it could be history"

Would you listen to The Wrecker again? Why?

This is one of those atmospheric stories, where all the description and narrative make you think you are in a time machine.

What did you like best about this story?

The atmospherics were superb Scott does a great job reading the book

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The scene where they were stood on the cow catcher. They had both been expanding on how they were better qualified to observe for land mines than the other, and as a consequence were desperate to be first to spot something amiss. They are so engrossed and so likely to scream stop that when they do ask the loco to stop it doesnt. Sorting out the stop signal means that later when they do spot the mine the do stop in time.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I eat this book in six sittings, I think any less and you are likely to rewriting the ending to follow the plot. There is a point in the story when they reveal (spoiler) all the preparations years ago. This would only have been needed if the protagonist had failed all his previous attempts. How can the character have been so uncertain that all his subsequent attempts would fail to know years before he needed the backup plan (it felt like an oops i think i need to pad this out a bit)

Any additional comments?

I had quite a few of those "oh come on that's unbelievable" to those Cussler inevitable impossible rescues. But whats new? this is how Cussler writes and if we don't know that by now!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Good story and well read, a little far fetched with the continued escapes. My first Clive Cussler book and will try another one based on this book.
